Hey Gilles, it's me, Claire again, just calling to apologize for what happened last week.
I'd really like to talk to you in person.
I feel really bad and I know what I did was completely out of line and I'm sorry.
And I'd love to tell you that and make it up to you.
Anyway, when you get this, you know where to find me, anytime.
Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you.
I'll be quick.
This is the latest information for the SpaceBook page.
I'll need you to update it when you get a chance.
Okay, I'll look after it right away.
There's no rush.
It's just an update on the vendors that'll be appearing at the festival.
There's some new ones in there.
So if you get it done before the weekend, that'd be fine, I think.
Okay.
Thank you, I appreciate it.
Hey, um, Gilles.
I was wondering if...
Like, do you have a second?
Please excuse me.
I'll just wait outside.
I've been trying to call.
I left a couple of messages.
I'm sorry, I've been kind of busy.
Sorry, I know.
I just...
I'd better get back to work.
I was really hoping we could talk about, you know...
I don't think I'm ready to have that conversation right now.
I'm sorry.
Pardon the intrusion.
May I?
Of course, Mr. Broz.
What can I do for you today?
Would you like me to sign in?
No, Ivan, that won't be necessary.
Neighbors are always welcome.
After my terrible behaviour these months, you're very kind to say so.
Sorry?
I have been the worst neighbor, and I've come to mend fences.
Oh, Mr. Broz, you don't have to do that.
Yes, I do.
And I would really like to do so without interruption.
Please?
My dear Ms. Turner,
I have behaved as the worst kind of neighbor.
We had our disagreements, to be sure.
But I've behaved as a child, and did not treat you as a friend.
I am an old man, set in my ways.
It is something my wife tells me often, but I am rarely willing to say to myself.
I say it to you.
I am a stubborn old man.
I argued with you, threatened you.
I could have helped you feel more welcome to this community, but I admit that I bad-mouthed you to our neighbors, and made life more difficult for you.
All the while, you treated me with patience.
And now, my childish behavior has come back to hurt us both.
I am not proud to say that I threw old food and garbage on your property to tempt the bears and bring you a fine and end this festival.
Now, the bears have come and threatened us both.
Your campers are frightened of these bears and ran for their lives.
My own little dog, Trixie, was attacked by a bear just yesterday.
And couldn't be saved.
And because of my terrible behavior, now the park's people will come and hunt down this bear.
I am ashamed.
Children could have been hurt.
My little dog was killed.
And this innocent bear will be destroyed because of my foolish behavior.
Ms. Turner—Claire—I have humbly come with my head hung low.
Please forgive me.
Though I do not deserve your friendship or your forgiveness, I would like to ask for a fresh start.
To turn over a new leaf.
Please accept my sincerest apologies.
I offer you my hand in friendship, if you will have it.
I am so sorry about your dog.
